For this week's Bench of the Week I have found some more examples from the centre of Bergen. Back to back with a parked bicycle as companion.

From the other side we can see that it is a small square, called Tårnplass.

Once it was used for parking cars, but not anymore. Now you can park people.

My own interest in benches stems from the site published by PERBS and Kerri and the site published by Malyss. Also, others have shown an interest in the subject, so I have started to take photos of benches when I "stumble" across one. I have not made this into a meme, but if anyone else would like to join me in publishing benches on Fridays, they are of course welcome to do so. Give me a hint and I'll come visiting.

PS For "reasons of summer" I have not been able to visit all those who commented my last bench-post. I'll try to make amends later on :-)

Beautifully designed benches and even more than one! Nice people watching viewsm an addition! U have mine ready but it won't be up until midnight unless I go and change the time for it . . . but think I will let it be for now. Please drip by later.

Benches and bikes= good mix!It seems that this double-back-bench is more a two-benches-put back-to-back. Anyway the wood has a beautyful color, and the place is well choosen: on one side, husbands can wait for their wifes during the time they're shoping at Bettina, and on the other, there's the living spectacle of the square.Hope you're enjoying your summer time!

Hi Rune! Your bench looks very comfortable. I also like the bench in Bryggen behind the shops. We sat there for some time in May, 2005. Soon a group of giggling Japanese women joined us. They were especially interested in my brother- in- law and surrounded him, taking photos of him. So that bench is now famous in Japan too.

Regarding Blogger Plus

This is a Bloger Plus free zone. I'm sorry, but comments without a proper"return" address can't be answered - I just will not be admitted. And (among other things), I can't stand the "pushy" tactics of Google.

AFIAP

I have it!

Policy on Awards

I have like most other bloggers received a number of Awards during the time I have been blogging. In the process of cleaning up my blog I have moved them to a separate post. If I should receive any more they will be added at the end of this post. I have received them in the spirit they have been given and are grateful for them all. I will continue to do so, but I will not pass them on.
